Hello experts,
Forgive my lack of etiquette when posting to an outdated topic thread, but you guys know your stuff, and I need assistance.
I have a tormek 2000 with a grinding wheel that's frozen with rust. The wheel is still in great shape, but how can I remove the wheel from the shaft without ruining the wheel? Would you suggest a penetrating oil or a similar product? After I remove the wheel, I'll install the new stainless steel easy-off shaft, and make other improvements as my budget allows.
BTW, I have never left water standing in the reservoir, but the shaft rusted anyway.
I also plan on contacting Tormek about the problem.
Thanks for your help,
Bill Sutherland
